Displaying the Pink Ribbon on Your Car for Breast Cancer Awareness
Swim Across the Sound is helping to raise breast cancer awareness on the area roads with pink magnetized ribbons to display on your car!

Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon MagnetThe Swim is selling the attractive magnetized ribbons with the Swim logo and catch phrase: “Turning the Tide Against Cancer” for $3. You can show your support for all the Swim breast cancer programs by purchasing one. They also make great gifts for friends and family members.

To help deliver breast cancer services, the Swim contributed $1 million to open the Swim Across the Sound Women’s Imaging Center in St. Vincent's Medical Center. The Swim continues to address the unmet needs of the community through its Mobile Mammography van. The white van with the Swim logo and pink cancer ribbon painted on the sides is constantly on the road, bringing mammography screenings for women at community centers, corporations, churches, housing facilities and places of business.

Breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer among women in the U.S., and the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women.

To purchase your Swim pink magnetized ribbon, visit the Swim Store online or call St. Vincent's Medical Center Foundation at 203-576-5451.

Breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer among women in the U.S., and the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women. While the 1980s saw a sharp rise in the number of new cases of breast cancer, that number now appears to have stabilized. The drop in the death rate from breast cancer is probably due to the fact that more women are having mammograms.
